Don't get the idea that any bbs is going to be super easy to set
up, because you will find that while most features may be easy on
one or another package there will be something that will challenge
you, especially as a beginner.  However, I usually recommend to a
beginner that the may want to try an older version of FIDO BBS such
as version 11W.  It is easy enough to set up, provides net mail,
and echo mail capacity, if you want to be FIDO NET compatable.
Once you have your feet on the ground with the basics and are
confortable with that system you can make a more intelligent
decision about moving on to something more sophisticated, if you
want more features, at a later date.  If you decide you would like
to give that system a try let me know and I can probably supply you
with everything you would need to get started.

If you have been on Maximus or Opus boards the FIDO menu system
will look very similar and a conversion from FIDO to Opus or Max
would not be extreemly difficult later.
